    Calley that is pretty much how the flylady thread works.. but with the added knowledge there are 40 other people out there doing the same as you and their houses are just the same!

    Thanks I looked at flylady website years ago and kinda went :confused:

    I don't ever have a shiny sink.

    I just really bad at being organised and also lazy. After a day at work I really don't want to have to come home and cook tea and clean the loo.

    I might pop my head in and have a look at the thread. But it might just be a little too scary for me :rotfl:

    Need inspiration desperately although I did tidy up the bedroom whilst watching a bit of telly - go me :-)

    Will someone please take all my freecycle rubbish and fast. I must have got rid of about 8 bags to charity and a whole load of stuff to freecycle but still the pile is not decreasing......

    IN : Nothing
    Out : Various bits of rubbish but the ebay pile is growing....I'm now thinking of just taking the clothing and not worth much stuff to a charity shop or offering it on Freecycle..:o

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Calley - I agree with you about the official website - she's terrifying! (And quite patronising.) Like pigpen says, if you want to clean in your jammies at least you're doing it :) I don't need some super-organised wonderwoman telling me I have to put my shoes and make up on....I *never* wear make up and shoes are for *outside* the house only :rotfl:

    I popped into the flylady thread last week and can now say with confidence that they're all lovely - and very friendly.

    Try the shiny sink thing if you can - I've really found it helps.
